	The Golden Legend: The Life of Saint Denis
		Denis is as much to say as hastily fleeing, or Denis is said of dia, which is as much to say as two, and nysus, which is to say lift up, for he was lifted up after two things, that is, after the body and after the soul.
		Saint Austin saith in the eighth book of the City of God that Ionique is a kind of philosophers, Italian, which be towards Italy, and lonian which be of the parts of Greece, and because that Denis was a sovereign philosopher he was named Ionicus.
		And then Denis was baptized and Damaris his wife and all his meiny, and was a true christian man and was instructed and taught by Saint Paul three years, and was ordained bishop of Athens, and there was in predication, and converted that city, and great part of the region, to christian faith.
